Xbox 360 surpasses three million Kinect sensors sold
Microsoft Corp. today announced it has sold more than three million Kinect sensors to consumers worldwide since it
launched less than four weeks ago. More than one million units were sold during the US three-day Black Friday weekend.
“We are extremely excited to see how consumers have responded to Kinect in New Zealand and around the world. It is truly
revolutionary entertainment that creates a magical experience for the whole family,” says David McLean, General Manager
of Xbox, Microsoft Australia and New Zealand.
“Kinect will be one of the biggest gifts for Christmas this year, and is to date one of the most significant consumer
electronic product launches in history. We’re currently on track to reach our forecast of five million units sold to
consumers by the end of the year.”
Kinect is now available at more than 60,000 retailers in 38 countries. It is the only controller-free games and
entertainment system available that lets you control games and movies, with gestures and movement. Retailers, reviewers
and analysts are calling it a must-have gift this Christmas.
